The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 763: Setting A Precedent

This time the Wanyan tribe can only confiscate some small and medium-sized tribes when confiscating war horses. The real big tribe Wanyan tribe maintains a wooing attitude, so their war horses have not been confiscated, and the tribes have to marry each other with the Wanyan tribe.

That is to say, the oppression of Wanyan Department is to pinch soft persimmons, pinch those who can be pinched and move, and win over those who cannot be pinched easily.

The big tribes dare not move at all, and still have strong autonomy on the grassland. As long as these big tribes surrender to the Wanyan tribe, they can keep their positions.

In fact, this situation is very similar to the ruling class in the Central Plains. It is easy for the common people to handle it, but it is the big family that is difficult to handle.

But is there no oppression among the great tribes?

Is there even no oppression in the Wanyan Department itself?

There are still a large number of exploited herdsmen at the bottom of the Wanyan tribe.

For these herdsmen, the state of Chu does not talk about feelings, but only benefits. We are sent by heaven to guide you and defeat the powerful officials and nobles who oppress you.

Defeat local tyrants and powerful officials, and you can share your own cattle and sheep! Even war horses!

In the future, you can safely graze on the grassland, and the oppression in the past will no longer exist!

Don't expect these herdsmen who are still struggling with food and clothing to have any family and country feelings, just like don't expect how many family and country feelings the tenants in the Central Plains who are still eating on the land will have. Can't care.

Now that the state of Chu continues to advance, it has dealt a huge blow to the authority of the Wanyan tribe. It is impossible for the Wanyan tribe to let it go forever, but if they want to beat the state of Chu, which has advanced firearms, they must recruit a large number of troops. To make up for the gap in weapons, but the grassland people can almost make all the people soldiers, but the number is much smaller.

Moreover, the Chu State took down the war horses and some cattle and sheep collected by the Wanyan tribe from various tribes in the southern grassland.

Wanting to maintain the war, the Wanyan Ministry not only needs to collect food such as cattle and sheep, but also needs to recruit strong men to join the army.

And what about Chu State?

You come and I will give you cattle and sheep, and lead you to overthrow those who oppress you. After overthrowing the ruling class headed by Wanyanbu, the cattle and sheep are yours, and you can still graze on the vast grassland.

Although the words are not pleasant to listen to, most of the people at the bottom are bound by their horizons, so their natural knowledge is really short, and they can only see the immediate benefits. As long as you promise benefits, his life can be yours.

Not every farmer is Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhao Hongyu finished listening, he said in a deep voice: "Put the grassland people whose arms were almost crippled by the Wanyan tribe back on their horses. What if they get the horses and instead gather to rebel against our Chu State? Their grasslands will be willing to be ruled by our Chu State ?"

Yan Guang said: "Yes, after all, our Chu State is the invading party, how can there be any reason to support the enemy? I am afraid that if we support the enemy, we will be beaten."

When King Xian heard what Xu Qing said, he waved his hand first, signaling to be quiet, and then couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In the past, he would have refused without even thinking about it, but now he seems to be deducing the possibility of this method.

The once virtuous king valued his family, country and world so much that he felt that everyone would have family and country feelings. He thought that every Chu people received the same education as him, and it was his glory to expand the territory.

But ever since he heard what Xu Qing said in the court hall, the wise king tried to temporarily put aside what he had learned in elementary school, and began to empathize with the lowest level people.

When survival is a problem, no one will think about what will happen to the ethnic group and family. Whoever can give him a bite is the reborn parent. If he can give him a woman so that he can have offspring and give them a stable life, He will die faithfully.

The dead soldiers are basically raised in this way.

As long as the thoughts of these prairie people can be unified, this method is actually feasible to a certain extent.

King Xian looked up at Xu Qing and asked, "There is no historical data to rely on this method, how sure are you?"

Xu Qing said: "Seventy percent."

The law can use the bill promulgated in the Civil War of a certain country on the other side of the ocean in the previous life, and it only needs to be slightly modified and written in classical Chinese.

And the central idea of ​​unity: to overthrow the powerful and divide the cattle and sheep is the central idea, which has been verified by his country.

Although his plan has no precedent and no allusions in this time and space, it has truly withstood the historical test in another world.

The only three achievements that Xu Qing is not sure about are that the grasslands today have not really integrated into China, and have always been two ethnic groups that are opposed to each other.

Although there are two precedents in this case, both of them were carried out in the same country, either in civil war or anti-aggression, but this time Chu State is the aggressor side, which is the only uncertainty.

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Seventy percent, you can give it a try!"

Zhao Hongyu remonstrated and said: "My lord! Think twice! The Wanyan tribe finally confiscated the war horses of other tribes in the grassland. If they distribute the horses to them again, even if they conquer the grassland, what should they do if they rebel against Chu?" it is good?"

Xu Qing looked at Zhao Hongyu and said, "General Zhao, the example of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then has taught future generations that confiscating weapons and horses is never the way to eliminate the source of rebellion. The root of rebellion is not in weapons, but in the heart."

Zhao Hongyu was speechless when he heard Xu Qing's words, yes, if he really wanted to rebel, he would rebel no matter what.

Yan Guang said: "There is one more thing, I don't know if the three commanders have thought about it."

Xu Qing asked: "What's the matter?"

Yan Guang said: "Where does the military salary come from? It is already extremely difficult for our country of Chu to support this expedition."

Xiao Ye said: "General Yan needs to know that brother Xu is the president of the National Chamber of Commerce, and the plan he proposes will definitely consider the lowest cost and the greatest benefit."

Xu Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the biggest advantage of this plan is to save money. The herdsmen on the grassland don't value money so much. Cattle and sheep are what they value. What we give them is theirs." The foundation of one's life and one's life."

"War horses are captured, cattle and sheep are captured. All we have to do is to overthrow all the nobles who oppress the herdsmen on the grassland, and use their cattle, sheep, and their goods to distribute to the bottom herdsmen who have been exploited by the nobles for a long time. This method Not only is it not a waste of money, maybe we can make some profit from it."

"And as long as we appease these herdsmen, we don't need much preferential treatment. We only need to act in accordance with the law to get the support of the grassland herdsmen. Everything we do during this period, don't talk about righteousness, don't talk about feelings, just let them know, Follow us, and they can get back the wealth that was looted by the nobles on the grassland!"
